We honestly cannot recommend The White House Nursery enough! We’ve been part of the White House family for around six years now , and I say ‘family’ because that’s exactly what it feels like. Both of our children started there at around 10 months old and absolutely adored their time. The management and staff are incredible, so caring, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the children’s well-being and happiness. They’re always investing in new resources, activities, and improvements to the nursery, creating such a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment. Our children (and from what we see others) are always so excited to get through the door each morning, eager to see what new adventures await them. It’s a place filled with love, laughter, and learning, a true home-from-home for the little ones. We couldn’t recommend it highly enough!

13 years ago since my oldest daughter went to The White House and I still can’t keep away ! I knew straight away all those years ago that this is where I wanted my little girls to be and who I trusted to look after them 9 hours a day. To this day I still recommend The White House to new families or friends with young children. It’s a home from home, nurturing, caring and the staff are just amazing. There’s no doubt in my mind that this is still the best nursery facilities by far. I’m very surprised by the negative reviews, trust your own instinct !

We couldn’t be happier with our son’s experience at The White House! From day one, the team made him feel so welcome and comfortable. Everyone is so lovely and clearly takes the time to really get to know each child and their interests, which has helped our son settle in so well. They’ve also been incredibly accommodating with his dietary requirements, which we really appreciate. It’s such a caring, nurturing environment, and we’re so grateful to have found them!

We have been part of the White House Day Nursery family for over 4 years now, with both of our girls attending. The staff make this place! They understand each individual child’s needs and adapt their approach accordingly. When we had health concerns and allergies with our daughter, nothing was too much to ask. They worked with us and supported us at each turn. Would highly recommend.

We started our daughter here in April with her mum going back to work. To say we had a very attached toddler would be an understatement to say the least so we were apprehensive about it all. The staff have been nothing short of excellent. They quickly got to understand and know Frankie and what she likes and needs. W no longer fear drop offs! The reason we picked here over the other great nurseries in central WB was the longevity of the staff (you know they are doing something right if people are staying there!) and their fantastic out-door-play approach. We are so glad we chose here and would highly recommend it to anyone in the area.
